Chapter 224 Tit for tat

"I know, I know." Duan Rongrong's smile remained unchanged. Obviously, she knew what Yan Xuewei would do to her if she didn't come here today.

She was in the early stage of foundation building, just like Li Xunting, and she had to participate in the four sect trials this time.

In addition to the cultivators invited by the affiliated forces, the cultivators in the sect who participated in the four sect trials were officially confirmed last year.

"Rongrong and your little granddaughter will go to the secret realm of the ghost city..."

When Yan Xuewei said this, Li Qianqing was looking at Duan Rongrong.

He didn't expect Qingfeng Valley to let a formation master participate in the four sect trials. Although many formation masters are strong, the secret realm is also conducive to the performance of formation masters compared to direct fighting trials, but sending a formation master can only mean that Qingfeng Valley really can't send anyone at the level of cultivators in the early stage of foundation building.

Now Li Qianqing completely understood why Tingting, who had just successfully built her foundation, was favored by Qingfeng Valley. Yan Xuewei's reason could not be ignored.

"You two should have a good exchange."

Yan Xuewei asked Duan Rongrong and Li Xunting to talk aside.

They were both cultivators who participated in the second level of the Four Sects Trial. If they had a good exchange now, it would be easier to cooperate if they met in Youdu Ghost Cave later.

At this time, Li Xunting looked at Li Qianqing. After seeing Li Qianqing nod, she started to communicate with Duan Rongrong.

Because the relationship between Thirteenth Grandpa and Yan Xuewei was considered siblings, and Yan Xuewei and Duan Rongrong were good friends, she still had to act as a junior in her communication with Duan Rongrong.

Duan Rongrong was also going to enter the secret realm of Youdu Ghost Cave. She must have made more preparations and knew more about the situation of Youdu Ghost Cave. She was probably better than Yan Xuewei.

Thinking of this, Li Xunting asked Duan Rongrong for information.

The more information the better, maybe it will be useful someday.

At dusk.

Yan Xuewei arranged accommodation for Li Qianqing and Li Xunting.

The place arranged for them is no less than the cave they lived in Changqing Mountain.

This also shows the foundation of a Jindan sect. You should know that the place they live is only on Yan Xuewei's territory, and Yan Xuewei is only a foundation building elder in Qingfeng Valley, not a Jindan elder.

The titles in front of the Jindan elders are ranked, such as the first elder and the second elder are all Jindan cultivators.

By the way, the supreme elder of Qingfeng Valley seems to have not passed away yet, but it should be soon.

Under normal circumstances, most Jindan cultivators can live for more than 500 years, but few can survive for 600 years.

Those who can live for more than 600 years either practice some special skills or take some spiritual elixir that can prolong life, or have some unique physique...

"You rest here. The sect will call us in five days at most."

There are three houses in the place where Yan Xuewei brought them. Li Qianqing and Li Xunting chose to live in two neighboring houses.

"Qianqing, if you have anything, you can come to me."

"Yes, Sister Xuewei." Li Qianqing nodded, and Li Xunting stayed comfortably.

Now they are in Qingfeng Valley, just practice seriously, and don't take any elixir to practice.

In the last few days, Li Xunting also consolidated her strength, and absorbed all the information collected about the ghost cave in Youdu.

Time flies, and the day for the disciples and elders of Qingfeng Valley to participate in the four sect trials has arrived.

During this period, Yan Xuewei came to Li Qianqing once, and Li Qianqing has not taken the initiative to disturb Yan Xuewei.

Yan Xuewei came to him, in addition to telling him some things, the most important thing was to introduce some elders of Qingfeng Valley to him.

In addition to Duan Rongrong, a good friend, there are three elders of Qingfeng Valley who have a good relationship with her, and two of them have a worse relationship with her than Duan Rongrong.

There is another one who seems to be Yan Xuewei's pursuer. Because they have not met much, Li Qianqing will not make a specific judgment.

At this moment.

Li Qianqing and Li Xunting are following Yan Xuewei.

When they came to the gathering place, they also attracted the attention of some elders and disciples, but they just took a look and retracted their gaze.

Obviously, among the cultivators in the early stage of foundation building sent by the sect, there are also cultivators from affiliated forces. Many cultivators in the sect are more aware of this.

They can also understand it. After all, there are only so many elders in the foundation building period, and five cultivators in the early stage of foundation building are needed. If they can't find a suitable candidate, it is normal to choose a cultivator in the early stage of foundation building from an affiliated force. After all, this is allowed in the rules of the four sect trials.

However, the number of people brought by the monks of the affiliated forces must not exceed three. Once more than three, they will be laughed at.

If possible, the four sects will not use the monks of the affiliated forces, because this will better demonstrate the strength of the sect.

Face is one thing, and the actual benefit is another. When there is really no one available in the sect, sending monks from the affiliated forces to participate is a good choice. Sometimes, even if you want to let the monks of the affiliated forces participate, there is no one to choose.

The current Qingfeng Valley is not the worst situation.

Li Qianqing, who followed Yan Xuewei, quietly observed everything and was also observing the situation of some forces in Qingfeng Valley.

Now the monks have not arrived yet, and the master of Qingfeng Valley has not come either.

It didn’t take long for Li Qianqing to feel the malicious gaze.

When Yan Xuewei turned her head to look in one direction, he saw Yan Xuewei’s appearance and turned his head to look.

A female cultivator in the late stage of foundation building, compared with Yan Xuewei, each has its own merits in appearance, but she is shorter than Yan Xuewei, which makes her seem a little inferior to Yan Xuewei.

Huo Tianyan!

Even without seeing, Li Qianqing knew it was this guy.

Yan Xuewei showed Li Qianqing the portrait of Huo Tianyan. In the world of cultivating immortals, this is only the most superficial view of identifying people. As long as you can know the breath of a cultivator and see through his concealment, you can basically identify his identity.

After taking a look, Li Qianqing retracted his gaze.

Huo Tianyan and Yan Xuewei have conflicts. Now his relationship with Yan Xuewei is destined to make Huo Tianyan target their Li family in the future. Such targeting will decrease as Yan Xuewei's strength and status improve, which is also a secondary reason why Li Qianqing hopes that Yan Xuewei can successfully form a pill.

Now the four sects trial has not started yet. Even if Huo Tianyan wants to target their Li family, she has to wait until after the four sects trial, because Li Qianqing is not too concerned about this matter now.

Compared with dealing with their Li family, Huo Tianyan is definitely more willing to deal with Yan Xuewei.

When Huo Tianyan wants to deal with them, she will not spend too much energy, unless the other party does not play according to the routine, but the possibility of this is not high.

They are standing in this place, and Huo Tianyan still wants to come over.

"Elder Yan, why did you bring two cultivators from affiliated forces? Isn't there only one?" After Huo Tianyan landed beside Yan Xuewei, he first glanced at Li Qianqing, then at Li Xunting, and finally set his eyes on Yan Xuewei.

Two cultivators of the Li family in the early stage of foundation building.

Just by looking at their appearance, Huo Tianyan knew who they were. Li Xunting, the female cultivator of the Li family with the Ice Spirit Body, who participated in the Four Sects Trial, but this male cultivator of the Li family must not be ignored. It seems that Yan Xuewei's relationship with the Li family is because of him.

Huo Tianyan has her own intelligence collection.

When Yan Xuewei helped the Li family, she was also collecting intelligence about the Li family.

If the development of the Li family was generally okay, she would not pay attention to it, but the Li family developed too fast and could already help Yan Xuewei, which forced her to put the Li family in a position that needed to be dealt with.

"There is only one person participating in the trial. Why do I bring one more person? Elder Huo, do you still want to manage it?" Yan Xuewei smiled very fakely. What she expressed was very clear, that is, Huo Tianyan stretched her hands too far. She was not a Jindan stage elder, but she wanted to do the things of a Jindan stage elder.

They are both senior elders of Qingfeng Valley, and their respective areas of responsibility are also different. They have no power to manage each other.

"Of course not, I don't mean to care, I'm just asking out of curiosity." Huo Tianyan also smiled, with a lot of helplessness in her tone, "Elder Yan, your reaction is too big."

"Not much, Elder Huo, you think too much, I said normal words, used a normal tone, and was still smiling at you." As she said that, Yan Xuewei's fake smile on her face became even stronger.

Seemingly polite on the surface, secretly competing.

Many elders of Qingfeng Valley knew a little about the situation, so when they saw this scene, they just took a look and retracted their gaze. Only the disciples in the Qi Refining Stage looked at it a few more times out of curiosity.

The cultivators who didn't know thought that their relationship was okay. After all, the tone of their speech, if they didn't listen very carefully, seemed to be joking with each other.

"Elder Yan was able to find the corresponding affiliated forces when there were few people in the sect. In fact, I came here this time just to praise you, Elder Yan."

"Oh, so what Elder Huo said is right. I can find the right person. I didn't expect that you, as a senior elder, can't help much in this situation." At this time, Yan Xuewei put away her fake smile. She was just mocking Huo Tianyan for finding a mediocre affiliated force.

The two have been tit-for-tat for so many years, and they understand everything the other says immediately.

"Yes, I just don't know how the cultivators you invited, Elder Yan, will perform. Don't let them get the 20th place. If so, it will be too embarrassing for our Qingfeng Valley, and you, Elder Yan, will also be ashamed."

"Don't worry about this, Elder Huo, just wait and see the results."

"Well, it's a good thing to be confident. I hope the cultivators you invited, Elder Yan, can live up to your confidence."

"Thank you, Elder Huo."

"Hmph."

Huo Tianyan left somewhat unhappy. She didn't stay with Yan Xuewei for long. She was defeated in the conversation, so she naturally had to leave early.

For so many years, many of her conversations with Yan Xuewei were basically on the same line. This time, she was slightly suppressed by Yan Xuewei.

Who said Yan Xuewei really had cultivators of corresponding strength for her to use.

Huo Tianyan really hoped that in this four-sect trial, Li Xunting, led by Yan Xuewei, would get a score outside the 15th place, so that she could win back a city in front of Yan Xuewei. Unfortunately, she couldn't interfere in such matters. Even if she could, it would be over if the sect found out, so she probably wouldn't do it.

The ultimate purpose of her and Yan Xuewei's disagreement was to get the spiritual object that could help them break through the Jindan stage.

Currently, in Qingfeng Valley, only three senior elders were qualified to obtain this spiritual object, and she and Yan Xuewei were much more likely to get it than the third one, so her main opponent was Yan Xuewei.

If she made a mistake in this situation, she would not be able to obtain the Jindan spiritual object. Especially in the four trials, she must not trip up the sect cultivators.

She just had to wait for Yan Xuewei to make a mistake.

Before leaving, she glanced at Li Qianqing again, but this time she did not look at Li Xunting.

Through this very simple comparison, Li Qianqing could analyze that Huo Tianyan must have collected a lot of information about their Li family, which means that Huo Tianyan was very interested in dealing with their Li family.

The possibility that Huo Tianyan would not take action in his mind was reduced again.

When the cultivators participating in the four sect trials arrived at the scene, the master of Qingfeng Valley also appeared.

With him also appeared the second elder of Qingfeng Valley.

The four sect trials were a big deal for the four major sects, and the cultivators leading the team must not be careless, and at least the cultivators in the Jindan stage must lead the team.

As the master of a sect, the master of Qingfeng Valley would not normally lead the team, so the task of leading the team was most likely to be a second elder.

When the head of Qingfeng Valley spoke, it was similar to what Li Qianqing thought.

"This time, the second elder is in charge of the four sects trial..."

The head of Qingfeng Valley said a lot, but what he said were all basic contents. To put it bluntly, it was nonsense, because everyone knew it.

But the process still had to be followed.

Li Qianqing found that the head of Qingfeng Valley glanced at him while he was talking.

This glance did not have much malice.

Li Qianqing did not take it too seriously. As long as Li Xunting ranked in the top ten in the four sects trial, the head of Qingfeng Valley would not make any comments on the development of their Li family for at least the next thirty years.

This time will definitely move with Li Xunting's results.

Li Qianqing has great confidence in Li Xunting. With Li Xunting's current strength, as long as her luck is not particularly bad, it is basically no problem to get the top ten.

An hour later.

A spirit ship appeared in the sky above the square.

This is the work of the main sect of the Jindan stage. Such a spiritual ship would cost at least 100,000 low-grade spiritual stones to make. As for the final price, it depends on the actual situation.

The spiritual ship slowly landed.

The second elder of Qingfeng Valley went up first, followed by the elders of the foundation-building stage, and then the disciples of the Qi-refining stage.

Li Qianqing and Li Xunting, the grandfather and grandson, just followed Yan Xuewei quietly.

At this time, there was an additional Duan Rongrong beside them.

Duan Rongrong came later, probably tinkering with her own spiritual formation. As the formation master of Qingfeng Valley, the second elder and the sect master would not say anything because of this lateness.
